I think this depends pm-utils or hibernate configuration...

IIRC it's even worse, since xtrlock is started by the program that is
responsible of the suspend, which has usually root privileges, it asks
for the root password even if you have already logged in.
I use the following script in my /etc/pm/sleep.d (used by pm-utils)

#!/bin/sh

LOCK_CMD=/usr/bin/xtrlock

[ -x $LOCK_CMD ] || exit $NA

        user=`w -hs | awk '{ if ($3 == ":'$displaynum'" || $2 ==
":'$displaynum'" ) { print $1; exit; } }'`
        if [ x"$user" = x"" ]; then
                startx=`pgrep -n startx`
                if [ x"$startx" != x"" ]; then
                        user=`ps -o user --no-headers $startx`
                fi
        fi
        if [ x"$user" != x"" ]; then
                userhome=`getent passwd $user | cut -d: -f6`
                export XAUTHORITY=$userhome/.Xauthority
        else
                export XAUTHORITY=""
        fi
        export XUSER=$user
}

# getXconsole gets the foreground (console) X user
getXconsole() {
	console=`fgconsole`;
	displaynum=`COLUMNS="" ps ax | grep -e 'X .* vt'$console | grep -v
grep | sed -re 's!.*/X .*:([0-9]+).*!\1!' | uniq`
	if [ x"$displaynum" = x"" ]; then
	    # Second attempt: perhaps there's no X started with the "vt"
argument, some users
	    # prefer to start X using startx instead. As a fallback we use
that X instance.
	    displaynum=`COLUMNS="" ps ax | grep -e '/usr/bin/X .*' | grep -v
grep | sed -re 's!.*/X .*:([0-9]+).*!\1!' | uniq`
	fi
	if [ x"$displaynum" != x"" ]; then
		export DISPLAY=":$displaynum"	
		getXuser
	fi
}

lock_screen() {
	getXconsole

	su -c "$LOCK_CMD &" $XUSER
        fi
}

case "$1" in
	hibernate|suspend)
		exit $NA

	thaw|resume)
		lock_screen

	*) exit $NA

esac

It should fail if there's no user logged in...
